Responsible Vulnerability Disclosure Program

At GiftCards.com, we truly value the contribution that ethical and responsible security researchers play within the industry. The role that they play not only helps the reputation of our organization, but also protects the safety and privacy of our customers. In the spirit of responsible disclosure, we have implemented a program to permit the discovery of security-related issues with the possibility of rewards upon responsible disclosure. Please review below for the rules, guidelines, and eligibility of the program.

In-Scope Sites

In general, any GiftCards.com site or affiliate company is eligible for participation under this program. Some of the sites are:

giftcards.com

omnicard.com

omniprepaid.com

swapagift.com

If you are questioning the eligibility of a particular site, whether it is owned / operated by GiftCards.com and it falls under the terms and conditions of this program, please do not hesitate to contact us at sitesecurity@giftcards.com.

Qualifying Vulnerabilities

Any design or implementation issue that substantially affects the confidentiality or integrity of our site is likely to be in scope for the program. Common examples include:

Cross-site scripting

Authenticated cross-site request forgery

Mixed-content scripts

Authentication or authorization flaws

Server-side code execution bugs

Insecure direct object references

Any vulnerability that would be considered as customer impacting (social engineering, denial of service, etc.) should not to be tested. If any activities are discovered that have a negative experience or degradation of service to our customers, we will classify this as unauthorized activities and will be treated as such.

Automated scanners are generally discouraged, and may get blocked by our automated prevention controls. If scanning is required, they should be focused on a particular property (i.e., single page or section) at our site, so to not create a lot of unwanted traffic.

If you are investigating issues that could potentially lead to disclosing sensitive information, you should target your own account, as the disclosure of our customer information is prohibited.
